“Pugacheva didn’t come”: a special sign was seen at Temirkanov’s funeral

In St. Petersburg they said goodbye to the famous conductor Yuri Temirkanov. The director of the Honored Ensemble of Russia, the Academic Symphony Orchestra of the St. Petersburg Philharmonic named after Shostakovich, found his last refuge at the Komarovskoye Cemetery. At these moments the burial ceremony ended.

Several hundred people gathered at the cemetery: local politicians, musicians and other artists.

Before the burial, according to tradition, everyone present threw a handful of earth into the grave.

By the way, during the funeral ceremony those present saw a sign.

“You saw that it rained all day today,” said one of the women. – And at the time of the funeral it stopped. Even the canopies (tents installed in case of rain – author) were not useful. Because during his lifetime Yura was a very good, bright and kind person. And the weather allowed us to celebrate it with dignity.

By the way, at the cemetery they said that during his lifetime Temirkanov liked to be called “Yura.” Therefore, the inscription on the grave tablet was the same: Yura Khatievich Temirkanov.

Immediately after the burial, those gathered began to lay flowers on the conductor’s grave. There were a lot of them. As a result, the grave began to literally be buried in flowers.

Journalists waited for Alla Pugacheva at the cemetery until the last minute. But the Diva never showed up at the funeral. Her foreign agent husband said that she had already left for the Baltic states.
